1 The RBA is an industry standard scheme that allows suppliers of multiple customers to demonstrate conformance to a single responsible business conduct standard. Number of workers represent the total supply chain workers in the entire supplier facility audited.

2 We do not include working hours and social insurance nonconformances when calculating closure rates, as they can take longer to implement than RBA's recommended closure guidelines. Of the nonconformances that were not closed during the year, most were due to specific permits awaiting government approval and related activities that did not pose particular risks to workers or the environment.

3 CAPs are opened for any audit that does not achieve all the following criteria: RBA Gold Recognition, full conformance with Prohibition of Forced Labor and Young Workers requirements in the RBA Code, and No Major nonconformances to the rest of the RBA Code.

4 The Cisco Supply Chain Operations organization includes employees responsible for sourcing and procurement, supplier management, planning, manufacturing, logistics, quality, and more.

5 Cisco sponsored suppliers to attend training provided by the RBA.

6 Forced labor nonconformances are those identified from RBA VAP Audits under Prohibition of Forced Labor.

Note: The RBA Validated Assessment Program (VAP) audit operation manual was updated from version 7.1 to version 8.0 in January 2024. We received audit reports in versions 7.0, 7.1, and 8.0 in fiscal 2024. Above RBA code sub-section names are based on RBA code 7.1 version since the majority of the audits we received in fiscal 2024 are in this version.
